Epistemología y Ontología de Platón: mitos de la caverna y la linea.
Epistemology and ontology, Plato's Myths: the cave, the line and a flying "carouser".
Main Concepts and ideas: forms or ideas; ethical intelectualism, maths, ontological dualismIf Socrates was right (ethical intellectualism), there have to be a only universal valid truth that must be found to explain why humans beings have so many different opinions on any given subject. Plato's consequently differentiated two worlds or universes (ontological dualism): one where human beings live with their varied diverse opinions (world of material things), and another one where the only valid referenced truth exist (world of ideas or forms) . Plato defended that to discover that "real real" world humans must use their reason, starting to forget untruly opinions. Influenced by the Pythagoras school, Plato pointed to the mathematical knowledge as the opening door to such world (using a line to describe this, and the allegory of the cave to describe those two pointed worlds).
